Your
child has been selected to compete in the Central Otago Primary Schools’
Athletics day. See on back for events entered. Please note that there are some
events where there is only one or no entries from our school. This is because
the Central Otago standard wasn’t met for that event.

·The event is being held
at Molyneaux Park, Alexandra on Tuesday
4th November starting at 9.15am. Postponement day is Thursday 6th.The
Events times sheet is attached. Look out for Mr Winders who will be in charge of our team this year. We will
have the green Arrowtown School gazebo to look for on the hill as our base.

·On the day your child
will need a packed lunch, a drink, sunscreen lotion and a sunhat. There is a
canteen operating as well. They will be issued with school t-shirts and shorts
at school. Uniforms need to be washed
and returned after the event.

·Take something warm to
wear between events if the day is cold.

·There is an entry fee of
$3.00 per competitor to be paid to
the school office by the Mon 3rd
November.

·I will put a notice on school website if the athletics is
postponed by 7.30am.

·Arrowtown School is in
charge of the hurdles this year so it would be great if we could have some
parent help to run them. Please enter a time below if you help.

·Girls’ track events are in the morning with field events
in the afternoon. Boys’ field events are in the morning and track events in the
afternoon. See timetable attached. You don’t have to be there the whole day if
you are only in 1 or 2 events but make sure you are at least 20mins before your
event.

events your child is in as well as all our competitors so as to enable you to
look at ride-share possibilities. If your child needs transport to the event

Arrowtown School Yr 3-8 Athletics

Tuesday 28th October – 2014

Arrowtown School

Hi all,

Our School athletics is on this Tuesday 28th October at the Arrowtown School. We
are holding it at school this year as our numbers are increasing and we need
more time to get through the events. By taking off travel time to and from the
Events Centre hopefully we can get through them all.

If postponed it will be posted on the school website
by 8.00am.

Postponement day is Friday 31stOctober.

We are not going to have a lunch break so the children
are going to take their bags around the stations with them and eat and drink when
they feel they need to.

Please ensure your child has a large packed lunch with
plenty of snacks and drink bottle for the day. They will also need to be
wearing appropriate clothing for athletics (i.e. no jeans) and have sun block
and brimmed sunhats. No spikes on shoes.

Parent
help Please!! – Like last year we hope to allocate two or three
parents to each age group to go around the events with them and help at the
stations so the parents can watch their children compete. Please indicate on
the form below if you can help.

We expect every child to give it their best on
athletics day and a high standard of sportsmanship and behaviour is also
expected.

A note is
needed if there is a medical reason as to why your child can’t compete
otherwise they will be expected to take part.

The children who make it through to the Central Otago
Athletics on Tuesday 4tgh November in Alexandra, will be notified in the
following couple of days after our athletics.

Entries to Central are limited to 2 in the field events and hurdles and 4 in the sprints events, however
they also have to meet the standard as well to gain entry.
